Taking Hedong Yi Youzhou as the bottom line for the Liao Kingdom to Song Heping!

Now the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom also knew that it was impossible to recover Youzhou, and they did not dare to try it. Of course, it was impossible to force the Song Dynasty to return it through diplomatic channels. Wu Haogu was not the loyal Yue Wumu. He had the law of heaven and capital, and there were epoch-making figures of republicanism in the middle. The Song Dynasty court had no choice but to deal with the world as the public. The Confucian idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor could not deal with the new Confucianism that convinced people with reason. There was also a capital industrial and commercial group behind the Youzhou army, and the Song Dynasty could not be stuck.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty wanted to capture Youzhou, and only the attack was made with clear swords and spears.

But Youzhou's military strength is still above the Liao Kingdom. How can you recover the Song Dynasty? If Zhao Ji wants to have that ability, he still needs to make peace with the Liao Kingdom? Isn't it good to send troops directly to Yunzhong, Hedong and seize the Xijing Road of Liao Kingdom together?

Therefore, Youzhou cannot be recovered, so the Liao Kingdom could only make the idea of ​​Hedong.

Lost Youzhou, taken to Hedong.

"Your Majesty," Wu Haowen took a deep breath and put forward the conditions for the Song Dynasty. "Our dynasty is willing to redeem the lost land in Hedong with ten million yuan, and then resume the alliance between the Chanyuan. Together with the power of the Song and Liao countries, maintain peace in the world."

10 million pieces!

He is really rich!

But the Liao Dynasty could not agree!

Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Yan and Xiao Fengxian, who were present, all had the above ideas.

10 million is what I want, because after losing the annual monies and Youzhou, the Liao Kingdom's finances are very tight. And now facing two fronts of fighting against Youzhou and Menggu, two major military groups, are still many places to spend money. How long can it last with the 5 million yuan blackmailed from Zhao Ji and the Caogu that was fought in Hedong?

Next, the Liao Dynasty had to deal with strong enemies, and three of them were strong soldiers and poor people. Therefore, the warriors of the Liao Dynasty only had the chance to die in battle and had no chance to make money. In this case, the Liao army, which relied on fighting for grass valley, could not maintain the war.

In other words, Yelu Yanxi's court had to give money. Only when the money was given, the soldiers and generals under him would work hard. Even if they were willing to work hard, they would not be able to fight for most of the Liao army "run Liao" and had to bring their own equipment and eat by themselves.

This kind of army was full of energy to deal with the rich and weak Song Dynasty. It would not have to mobilize morale! But let them fight the poor man who stopped Bu, and they would soon wither. Otherwise, Mogus would not have been able to hold on for so many years. Now, his son Huerzhahusi continues to fight.

Next, the Liao soldiers will fight Hexi, Menggu and Nuzhi are all poor people. The only rich Youzhou army is so powerful that it is impossible to defeat.

Therefore, the Liao Dynasty had to pay the money to the "self-employed Liao" below, otherwise it would not take a few years to fight, and a group of "self-employed Liao" would be poor even if they were not beaten to death.

But you have to pay money...where does the money come from?

The Liao Kingdom lost Yan land not only lost its tax source, but also lost its main iron source! Now it must use precious gold, silver and copper coins to buy iron from Youzhou. In addition, due to the rebellion of giving birth to a daughter and the loss of the wood production in Youzhou, the Liao Kingdom lost large export products such as wood, medicinal materials, Dongzhu, and fur, and the silk, gold and silver that could be exchanged for from the Song Dynasty were also greatly reduced.

In this case, the 10 million ransom paid by Zhao Ji was really attractive.

But the Liao Kingdom also has political correctness... Give up Yan land because of political incorrectness. It would be fine if Hedong could get compensation. If Hedong was even returned to the Song Dynasty, then Yelu Yanxi would not be able to explain it.

"Hedong is used to exchange Youzhou!" Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth and said, "Without Youzhou, I will never return it to Hedong! However, I can continue the truce in Hedong and the Southern Dynasties... The condition is that the Southern Dynasties will pay 500,000 yuan to our dynasty since the Jin Dynasty!"

"The alliance between the two countries has not been restored, how can our dynasty pay annual monies?" Lu Yihao shook his head, "But... our dynasty loves the people as a son, and can pay ransom to your country in exchange for the looted Hebei and Hedong people. A commoner costs 20 yuan, and 50,000 yuan is 1 million yuan."

This name is well found!

The Liao monarchs and ministers in the imperial tent all breathed a sigh of relief. Now they could finally get some money to maintain the war against Na Zhi and Menggu.

The Liao army did not plunder many people in Hebei. They retreated from Hebei in a hurry, and the population they plundered had no time to take away. However, they captured many Han people in Hedong. After all, there were still many territory in Hedong in the hands of the Liao Kingdom. Of course, the people there were all in the hands of the Liao people, and they took it out and sold it to the Song Kingdom. They could not only get money but also reduce the trouble of management. Wouldn't it be a kill of two birds with one stone?

Zhao Ji spent money to redeem the people and gained the reputation of loving the people as much as his son. It is hard to say anything about those loyal and upright ministers in the court. After all, Mencius said that the king is light, the people are the basis, and the country is the second. What is not worth it to exchange for the people who are based on their own?

...

Wu Haowen and Lu Yihao have left Yelu Yanxi's imperial tent. It is time for the monarchs and ministers of the Great Liao Dynasty to digest the information they just received and discuss solutions.

The atmosphere inside the imperial tent was extremely heavy! Because the Song Dynasty's extraordinary generosity had proved how dangerous the Liao Kingdom was now. So much so that the old enemy, Da Song, who had been in the forefront for more than a hundred years, was frightened for the Liao Kingdom.

If the Song Dynasty's court had not believed that the Liao Kingdom would collapse soon under the attack of the two major military alliances in Hexi and Mongolia, how could they be willing to spend so much money to support the Liao Kingdom?

If the troops of the two major vassal states Youzhou and Hexi were not so strong that the Song Dynasty court could not cope with it, how could they be willing to maintain the balance between the various parties by maintaining the Liao Kingdom?

The reason why the Song Dynasty was willing to pay was that the Liao Kingdom was in danger! Without these Jin aids from the Song Dynasty, the destruction of the country would be a matter of the moment.

"Your Majesty, although our great Liao army is invincible, it is impossible to deal with the four enemies of Youzhou, Nuzhi, Hexi and Menggu at the same time. For the sake of the present, we can only distinguish the order and eliminate them one by one!"

The first person to make an opinion was that Xiao Fengxian, the Privy Councilor of the North Court, said a lot of correct nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth. The strength of the Liao Kingdom, let alone four of them, could not be eliminated even if they came together!

Moreover, since Youzhou, Nuzhi, Hexi, Menggu formed an alliance, he would not give Liao Kingdom a chance to deal with it one by one. This is a battle to destroy the country, so how could there be a one-on-one challenge?

"Who to deal with first?" Yelu Yanxi asked with a frown.

"Youzhou is the strongest," Xiao Fengxian analyzed, "and our troops in the court have the iron weapons of Wuzhou, so we will definitely not be the first to fight.

Hexi is more than 2,000 miles away from Shangjing, Zhongjing, Taiyuan, and Xijing. It is really inconvenient to conquer. Therefore, we cannot deal with it from the beginning.

The Menggu tribe by the Onan River has 40,000 troops and is nomadic people. Once a war begins, it will inevitably run around and is difficult to capture. Moreover, the Menggu tribe, the Krei tribe, and the Tatar nine tribe (located in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau) may also join forces. In this way, at least 100,000 cavalry from the grassland tribes will deal with us, and the war will inevitably last for a long time. For the sake of the present, we can only win over the Tatar nine tribes and use the Tatar people to deal with the mottled ancient people."

"That's the first time to deal with a girl!" Yelu Yanxi frowned and said, "Taizu once said that a girl was not worth ten thousand, and she was invincible. Nowadays, a girl might have been worth ten thousand, right?"

"But the female sects live in various places and are far apart, which is difficult to respond for a while." Xiao Fengxian said, "If you can send elite troops to raid and catch a raid of the female sect, it should not be difficult to break up the Tiger Water Wanyan division. Now, all the female sects are headed by the Tiger Water Wanyan division. As long as they are broken up, the female sects of each department will be a piece of loose sand and will not be a threat."

Yelu Yanxi did not listen to Xiao Fengxian's words as said in history books, but sought Xiao Wuna's opinion, "Xiao Wuna, do you know the situation of the female pride and think what is Xiao Fengxian's plan?"

Xiao Wuna said with pain: "The birth of a daughter is the beginning of Taizu's attack on the Bohai Kingdom. When the Bohai Sea was destroyed, the people moved inward to Liaodong, and the former land of the Bohai Sea became the home for the birth of a daughter. Therefore, the birth of a daughter is the place where people are thriving and thriving, and the number of people is increasing. The birth of a daughter is gradually formed when the late emperor was in the past, and it is said to have a hundred thousand households! The population is at least hundreds of thousands. However, the land of a daughter is very large. To the east of the Liaohe River Basin, from the two banks of the Qiantong River in the north, and to the south to the Great Wall of the Goryeo Kingdom, the 100,000 households are still very sparse."

History has made Yelu Yanxi take the blame for having a daughter, which is really a bit unfair. The southern part of the territory occupied by the daughter, originally belonged to the Bohai Sea in the east and the Bohai Sea. After the Liao Taizu Abaoji destroyed the Bohai Sea in history, he moved hundreds of thousands of Bohai people to Liaodong and western Liaoning, throwing the Bohai Sea territory there, and making trouble for the girl.

The Nao people reproduced and grew there, generation after generation. By the time of the Liao Daozong, the population had already been large, and it also developed from a scattered tribe to a tribal alliance. The Daozong of Liao was busy dealing with the rebellion on the Mongolian Plateau, constantly tolerating the Nao people (also in order to obtain Harrier Eagle, Dongzhu, medicinal materials, and fur), and watched them establish a tribal alliance.

When Yelu Yanxi took power, the Nao family had long been too big to lose their sternness.

Xiao Wuna said in a heavy tone: "The Naomen of the Naomen have always been headed by the Wanyan tribe of the Tiger Water. The unit has thousands of households, and the cavalry can be dispatched about four or five thousand. The number of people who can be dispatched in a hurry is about 20002,500."

"It's only 2,500..." Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth, "I personally led 100,000 elite soldiers to go there, and I'm not afraid of beating him but not winning."

"Your Majesty," Xiao Fengxian quickly reported, "How can 100,000 elite soldiers be powerful? Not only will the news be leaked, but the food and grass required by the army will be difficult to raise for a while. When the troops are ready, the Naomen of the Naomen will have already prepared enough, and then there will be no 2,500, but 25,000 enemies."

"That's right," Yelu Yanxi nodded, "Fengxian, how many people should we send?"
